Then, we ended up taking Abigayle to the Dr. because we have gotten more concerned about her "tics/habits" that she was having. Dave & I both felt that they were more than tics, that they might be seizures. She started having 4 episodes a day & there were 2 different kinds of "episodes" she was having. So we brought it to her pediatricians attention. He was concerned as well, and ended up ordering her to have and EEG & and MRI.
Continuing on with the week, Tuesday, our oven started acting funny & we cannot bake anything. It beeps uncontrollably & we cannot push any buttons. So we have just unplugged it.
Also, early Tuesday morning, & I am talking 3 AM early, I woke up to Lyvie laying in bed with me saying she didn't feel good, & then throwing up the rest of the day. Got to love the pukes. Funny story: When Dave got home from work, which was 4 AM. I was up with Lyvie trying to keep her from throwing up. Anyway, he told me to go back to bed & he would rock her back to sleep. Well Lyvie looked at Dave & said, "I need to spit". And Dave kept saying "What", he couldn't understand what she was saying. And as she continues to tell him she needs to spit, he continues to ask her what she was saying. So I decided to get up & go tell him what she was trying to tell him, and just as I was walking out... Dave hollers at me & tells me...'No more Sprite for Lyvie!' By the time I get out there and get a close look at what is going on, Dave has puke all over his face & it's stringing down his cheek & onto his clothes. If he would have just listened to her the first time when she said she needed to spit, this would not have happened.
Okay, now with Wednesday. We had to be over to Logan Regional Hospital with Abigayle by 7:30 AM. Abi was getting an EEG that day, so she had to go sleep deprived. She only could sleep from midnight to 4 AM. It was so sad! The test only took about 45 minutes and it was painless.
Thursday, we were up at 3 AM & in Logan Regional Hospital by 5:3o AM. Abi had an MRI this day. She had to go fasting and that was very sad. But the saddest was when they had to put an IV in her & put her under conscious sedation. I hated looking at my baby and seeing a blank look stare back at me. She was so helpless. The MRI took longer than told, but that was because Abi's sedative kept wearing off, and then she would start wiggling her toes & kicking off the heart monitor. Every time the Radiologist was about to capture the picture, her head would move & the images would be blurry. So, after many times of adding more sedative in her system, they decided just to up it all the way & she stayed sedated the rest of the time. The Radiologist was so surprised at how many times they had to inject more in her. He said she must have a high metabolism that just burns things off quick. Getting her to come to took about 30-40 minutes. It seemed like forever. And on top of all this, Dave got the flu while we were there. He was so miserable the whole time. I felt bad. So we finally got home about 9 AM. The rest of the day was pretty lazy. Dave spent most the day in bed. And then, I noticed Lyvie has pink eye ... in BOTH eyes! YUCK! So her pediatrician called in a Rx, and she is now taking that. And Abi, poor girl, but what a strong little girl... she has been so groggy & out of it the entire day. We should find out the results of both tests later on today.
